Big Day

T. J. — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:18:54 +0000

Well, thew 1st was Owen’s 3rd Birthday and Reilly’s first day of school at his new school. I’ve got some pics below. It was a good day. They both had a great time and huge fun was had by both.

That evening I got to hear the words that warm a father’s heart. Owen and Reilly were upstairs in the play room and I was listening at the bottom of the stairs. I heard Reilly say in a soft voice. “Owen, be sure you don’t push the self destruct button”. They’re already plotting rule the world. It really brings a tear.

Every once in a while a picture just works. This was one of them. He looks so much older than 4.

Fun July Evening

T. J. — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:27:41 +0000

Good morning. A bunch of us went to the Lake in the Hills Rotary Ribfest last night. It was a great event and only a couple blocks from the house. We saw the band Starship. You rememeber. “We built this city on Rock and Roll”. I beleive that is still one of the most critically lampooned songs of the 80′s to this day. They were actually pretty good. Mickey Thomas can still sing.

I’ve attached a couple of pictures. There might also be a couple of pictures that we hadn’t taken off of the camera yet, but I like ‘em.

Reilly’s First Movie

T. J. — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:43:09 +0000

This was the first movie I put together with my camera. Reilly was about 7 months old. Lots of fun. He’s so little there and he’s so big now. I love seeing these.

I hope you like it.

Christmas 2005

This is some video I took before anything was going online. I think a few people might have this on DVD. I did a little color correction on this, but it is essentially the same. I hope you like it. I might have more as I find them.

Obama Drastically Scales Back Goals For America After Visiting Denny’s

I’ve got to admit, this is funny because it is plausible. That makes it less funny. I’m finding humor is a continuum and this rides both the highs and the lows.

More Tommy Emmanuel

Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen a video of this guy that hasn’t floored me. I missed an opportunity this winter to see him, and I’m going to regret that for a long time. That guy is amazing.

Owen’s First Movie

T. J. — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 01:39:21 +0000

Well, Owen went to his first movie today. It was Dreamwork’s Monsters vs. Aliens. Owen sat on Jennifer’s lap for all but about 10 minutes of the movie and then he switched to me. He ate popcorn and didn’t talk. He was so into the movie. Reilly, being a good example, sat there and enjoyed the movie.

The only theater we could go to for a morning movie was the AMC in Barrington. Great theater. I always love seeing movies there and this was no exception.

It was a good day. We then took them to lunch and they slept all the way home.
